Anyone have experience with the Willow Triplizer rings?
I'm thinking about trying a set of these so I can use the FC-6400 crank that matches the rest of the group on my Serotta and not die on the hills around town. Anybody have first-hand experience? The price seems right!

Keep in mind that you need derailleur capacity to handle a triple and you may need a bottom bracket spindle that is wider.

I looked at the Red Clover stuff just minutes ago and couldn't find anything for a 130 bcd crank, just 144 and 122. To clarify, the crank is a Shimano 600 FC-6400 with a 130mm bcd. Derailleur capacity won't be much of an issue and I have a few different BB's to choose from.

I know the guy, David Banzer, who bought out the Willow inventory, and I'm running one of their 25T on my Viner CX - it's all good stuff.

David makes nice bags, too.

Don't know anything about their triplizer, but I recently got a couple 110bcd Willow chainrings for my Trek 620. Don't let the cheap price scare you off - very nice quality and finish.

I have a set on my trek, 50-40-30
Very pleased - am thinking of picking up an extra willow triplizer as a spare
No regrets here - Joe
